Israel observes two-minute silence for Jews liquidated by Nazis

The study was conducted by the Claims Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, a body seeking restitution for Holocaust victims and their families. The Strahl in there might sound unusual, and that's because it's actually a surname - one that belonged to his wife's grandparents, who were both Holocaust survivors.

We must ensure that the history of the Holocaust remains forever relevant and that no people suffer these tragedies ever again. And while 90% of the Jewish population in Baltic States was killed, awareness that the Holocaust occurred in these countries is in the single digits.

The study found that the vast majority of respondents support Holocaust education.
